The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 340 Seven Weapons

This opening battle of World War II ended with the destruction of Poland, without any suspense.

However, Wu Aihua saw from this battle that the Panzer Army was invincible on the Polish plain.Moreover, the tank tonnage of the German armored forces also made Wu Aihua feel a little nervous.The PZ3 tank equipped by the German Army alone weighs 22 tons, the front armor is 30mm thick, the speed is 40 kilometers per hour, the power is 300 horsepower, and the weapon is a 45mm cannon with a diameter of 37 times. The pz3 tank is comparable to the t-24 tank produced by the meritorious service system.If it is a little worse, the overall performance of German tanks may be worse than the t-24 of the Wehrmacht.

However, Wu Aihua did not dare to take it lightly.

War has always been a catalyst for new weapons, and the tanks of World War II will also be rapidly improved because of this Polish campaign.After this battle, the frontal armor of the German pz3 tank will immediately become 50mm, and its artillery was changed to a long-barreled 50mm cannon at the beginning of the Western Front War. Later, after Hitler inspected the tank troops, this The tank's artillery was replaced with a 60 caliber cannon.Since then, German tanks have been advancing all the way, and Tiger and Leopard have appeared on the stage one after another. Among them, the Tiger tank weighed 70 tons.

However, German tanks are not invincible. For a long time, German tanks were not opponents of Soviet and Russian tanks. In November 1941, the German High Command sent experts to the Eastern Front to study the Soviet Russian T-11 tanks. It was not until May 34 that a new tank capable of restraining the T-1942 tanks was designed and produced. This is the Leopard. type tank.

Before World War II, the development direction of Soviet and Russian tanks was aimed at German tanks and chariots. In the battle between the latter two sides, except for the initial appearance of the Tiger tank, the Soviets and Russians suffered some losses, and the Soviet Russian tanks were basically in the lead. Regarding the status of German tanks, such as the improved t-34/34 of the Soviet Russian t-85, and later new tanks such as t-35, kv1, js1, and js2.Among them, the artillery caliber of the j22 heavy tank reaches 122mm, and it is very popular on the battlefield for a while.

However, the strength of Soviet Russia is far more than that.Followed by js3 tanks, su-76 self-propelled artillery, su-85 tank destroyer, su-100 tank destroyer, su-122 self-propelled artillery, su-152 self-propelled artillery, jsu-122 tank destroyer...

In addition, the arms production capacity of the United Kingdom, France, Japan, and especially the United States is beyond the reach of China's flattery.So, in the face of the outbreak of World War II, what should China do?

At present, the T-36 heavy tank of the National Defense Forces has a 45-caliber 88mm cannon, a weight of 36 tons, and a speed of 46 kilometers. It is slightly stronger than the T34 or T34/85 of the Soviet Union, but it cannot compete with the Tiger tank. Compared with the weight of the Panther tank, it is 9 tons lighter than the Panther tank.

Regardless of design and production technology, the heavier the tank, the thicker the tank's armor and the stronger its protection capability.Therefore, if the Chinese National Defense Force wants to remain invincible in World War II, it must develop heavy tanks with more powerful firepower and thicker armor.

The current meritorious system has all the tanks produced before the 1980s, including China's Type 79 tanks, Soviet Russia's T72, and T64. If it is only equipped with troops, Wu Aihua is not too worried.What Wu Aihua thinks about is mainly the issue of "matching" between actual production and system production.That is to say, as long as the system produces equipment equipped with troops, it should have corresponding production capacity in reality.In this way, the reality and the system can achieve "complementarity", so that the country's military output will increase linearly, thereby making up for the lack of national power.

If the Type 79 tank is exchanged in the system, there will be no opponent in World War II. However, the Type 79 tank has many technologies of later generations. If the Type 79 tank goes to the battlefield, there is no doubt that these technologies will definitely leak.With the technical level and production capacity of the western powers, new tanks can be produced in less than half a year.

Don't think that this kind of choice is easy, or that you can choose the best tank?This is completely wishful thinking!If there is only one battle, Wu Aihua doesn't need to choose at all, just exchange for a few most advanced nuclear warheads and blow it up.

This choice is mainly a cost-effective choice, in other words, it is to be cheap and good.For example, Wu Aihua exchanged a 58mm triple-mounted self-propelled anti-aircraft gun on a small scale. Although the merit value is not expensive, it is frighteningly expensive to produce in reality. With China's current national strength, it is impossible to equip it on a large scale. Had to go back to the old towed flak guns.

In addition, the previous tanks and artillery types of the National Defense Forces were also insufficient. Wu Aihua had to complete the types within one to two years, such as large-caliber mortars, such as strengthening the 37mm direct-fire gun equipment of the marine battalion, and reducing the mountain artillery company of the marine battalion.In fact, in the previous battles, the mountain artillery company of the Marine Battalion seldom fought alone. They either fought with the artillery of the division or regiment, or they were simply decorations.

After a few days of thinking, at the end of the Polish campaign, Wu Aihua handed over a weapons production plan to the General Armament Department. This equipment plan was archived by the General Armament Department as "2001", and later played an important role in the history of the National Defense Forces. .Some people pointed out that this plan is a sign of the transformation of the president's military equipment thinking from spontaneous to self-conscious, from powerful firepower to suppressive firepower.

And Wu Aihua called his equipment plan "seven weapons" very vulgarly.Indeed, among hundreds of weapons, Wu Aihua chose only seven weapons as replacement equipment for World War II or the early period of World War II.

The first type, the t-48 heavy tank.It has a full weight of 48 tons, a 45mm smoothbore gun with 105 times the caliber of the artillery, a maximum range of 1m, an effective range of 3200m, and a maximum speed of 2200 kilometers per hour; the engine is 45 horsepower, and the ton thrust ratio is 800 horsepower.What is particularly interesting about this tank is that its front armor is beveled at 16.7 degrees, and its 35mm of armor is equivalent to 100mm of armor protection.

This chariot is Wu Aihua's only heavy equipment among the "seven weapons".

The second item is the Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun.This is a weapon produced by the system.Previously, in terms of equipment for the National Defense Forces, Wu Aihua attached great importance to the role of the 60-force. However, the 60-force is a cannon after all. Although it can be carried by one person and run, it is by no means an individual weapon. A real individual combat weapon, and to a certain extent, its power is more powerful than the 60 force.

To understand the power of this semi-automatic grenade gun, one must have an understanding of grenade.Grenades have the same meaning as the "grenades" of howitzers, except that rifle grenades are fired with guns, not cannons. The 39-type semi-automatic grenade gun is equipped with two types of conventional grenades, anti-personnel shells and armor-piercing shells, and can also launch various special shells under special circumstances.

Type 39 anti-personnel grenade, weight 430 grams, maximum range 600 meters, best killing distance 100-450 meters, grenade killing diameter 20 meters; Type 39 armor-piercing projectile, can break vertical armor 300mm, and can penetrate 1000mm concrete fortification .When Wu Aihua saw this set of numbers, he immediately chose this weapon and ordered it as "Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun", because its armor-piercing ability was equivalent to the level of the 60s after World War II. Never give up.

As for the weight of the Type 39 semi-automatic grenade gun itself, it is about the same as a mg42, 7.1 kg.

The third type is the Type 39 assault rifle.This one, needless to say, Wu Aihua shamelessly plagiarized the famous ak47 assault rifle (it can also be counted, because there is this thing in the system, it is much more complicated for Wu Aihua to make and imitate it himself).

This rifle, designed by an ordinary soldier in Soviet Russia in 1947, has been proved to have extraordinary quality by later generations.Until the 21st century, the world already had more advanced rifles, and this assault rifle still showed its talents in local wars.It is said that the intensity of the armed conflict in that place can also be seen from its selling price.In relatively stable areas, the price of ak47 is mostly between 230-400 US dollars; when it reaches 100 US dollars, it means that a harmonious society has been established in the local area; The conflict is in full swing with no end in sight in the near term.

The fourth type, Type 39 heavy sniper rifle.This heavy-duty sniper rifle called APX12 in the system, in Wu Aihua's opinion, does not belong to the heavy-duty sniper rifle produced by any country on earth.Its caliber is the same as the famous Barrett 82 heavy sniper in the United States, both are 12.7mm, but its weight is only 11 kg, while Barrett weighs 14 kg (excluding ammunition and barrel).As far as its lightness is concerned, it is similar to Japan's Taisho 11th-style light machine gun. Could it be a single-shot light machine gun, Wu Aihua thought with some mischief.

The reason why this type 39 heavy sniper has entered Wu Aihua's eyes is because its absolute range is 4000 meters, and its effective range (1600 meters for people, 2100 meters for cars, etc.) is high. Fixed targets larger than the human body are within its range.

The fifth type is the Type 39 88mm rapid-fire gun.Obviously, this is an improved anti-aircraft gun, which is specially used to hit ground targets, especially cars, armored vehicles, tanks and other ground targets.Compared with 75mm mountain guns and field guns, rapid-fire guns are characterized by dense firepower and direct fire, and their attack power against ground fortifications is even much stronger than that of 105mm howitzers (the latter is not easy to aim and fires shells too slowly).

In World War II, 88mm anti-aircraft guns were used in non-German camps to fight against German tanks, and achieved great results, almost making German tanks helpless.However, the 88mm rapid-fire gun of the system is much lighter than the 88mm anti-aircraft gun of the same period in World War II. The former is only 3.6 tons, while the latter is 5.5 tons.But the firing range is equivalent to that of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun, and the longest firing range is 14500 meters.

The sixth type, Type 39 submachine gun.In addition to the ak47, Wu Aihua finally chose another classic weapon, which is the mp5 submachine gun, which was produced by Germany in 1966 after World War II.Wu Aihua once again shamelessly plagiarized this classic equipment and turned it into the standard equipment of the Southwest Army of the National Defense Army and the mountain and jungle troops.
